Tripod's Rugged Recon PDA Wins Wide Acclaim
PORTLAND, OR.
April 23, 2004
Tripod Data Systems, a Trimble Company, has been receiving international accolades on their new rugged-duty Recon handheld computer. Reviews from PocketPC Magazine, Pocketnow.com, PDA Street.com, PDA Buyers Guide, CNET Swedish magazine MikroDatorn, the British magazine Trusted Reviews among others have been very positive. Typical of the Recon PDA reviews Trusted Review magazine writes: " I have to say, during my time with the Recon, I have become a firm fan of its styling and durability. At the end of the day, if you need a PDA that will survive everything the elements can throw at it, then you really need the Recon. Drop, sink, heat or chill this little machine and it just keeps on going. Certainly, not everyone is going to need a rugged Pocket PC, but for those who do, the Recon is a godsend." Fiori's design team worked closely with Tripod to meet the stringent requirements necessary to succeed in the rugged handheld field.
